DebugLocLists with no entries: any idea how to generate a testcase?

I've noticed there are debug loc lists with no entries sometimes
in my heap profiling workload (a linker dump of `-flto -g`).  It
seems to happen when *all* the locations correspond to `%noreg`.

This patch adds an assertion (which fires on my big workload,
but not in any of our tests), and adds a likely fix that's
commented out.

Does anyone know how to generate this kind of thing, or should I
just start compiling things to see if I can make it happen on my
own?  (I've tried reducing my workload, but I'm having trouble
getting very far with it.)
